I am so happy today. I know I deserve a relationship of equality. I know the only way to stop the cycle of abuse is to leave. I know I am not to blame for what was taught. I know abuse is a learned behavior. I know that holding people unaccountable for their actions is enabling. I know that secrets keep you sick. I know it is passed on from generation to generation. I am thankful for that knowledge and for not being fearful to keep the family secret.

yep, equality b/c I am equal.....and abuse , yea, i get up and leave...never to give them another chance to harm me again......and i , too, am not to blame for what I was taught (coda) but i am now, since becomming more healthy, responsible if i want positive change......and i was sooo sick due to keeping "the secret"....siblings want to literally kill me for leaking the "secret" in the course of my desperate desire to heal......and i agree: generation to generation.....i, am no longer into keeping secrets that keep me sick.....i share, openly and w/out fear of rejection now b/c it is my right to be able to be honest........NICE share :)
